We weren't disappointed. Cleanliness, facilities and amenities all as we expected from previous stays with the owner. One thing we didn't have provided though was a pair of scissors which certainly would have come in handy a couple of times. As someone has already mentioned, the internet is shared with the neighbouring property and can have a tendency to "drop out". It didn't bother us as we're used to that at home (lol) but it may be more of an issue for others. We love the location as it's so easy to explore the area. Easy access to the Fife Coastal path. Hoping to stay there again soon.

So it was the sin of omission rather than full honesy. Insulation was poor. The flat heated up quickly but cooled very quickly too. Soundproofing was non existent which meant no privacy at all either in our own flat or the flat next door. We could hear them and undoubtedly they could hear us. There was no view from their flat either. The adjoining flat was accessed by an adjoining door which should have been locked on both sides but not on our side. The sofa bed would not have been very comfortable for two people. The flat would not be suitable for young children with no door at the spiral staircase. Equally it would not suit anyone with mobility difficulties. There were many stairs. The flat was fairly well equipped but the cafitiere was tiny and was hardly suitable for one person never mind four. It was also the same with the teapot which we found eventually. There was no welcome note or instructions, just out of date booklets and leaflets. We received a call from the owner to say that the electricity was going off from 9am until 4pm and that she 'forgot ' to tell us. This left us without heat and lighting, the means to cook and not water all day. If we had been told before leaving home we could have brought thermos flasks. I would advise people to read all the reviews very carefully before booking. I wish we had to save us the disappointment when we arrived. Certainly it is a well presented flat decoratively but featureless.

If I was fully fit it would be fine. Great location directly opposite the harbour. We used the back garden quite a bit
